			The bigger the better - my favorite is a Newfoundland.  Little dogs are yappy twits. 
 
 
Breakfast:  Bacon and eggs or hot cereal (ie. oatmeal)

			Well, I'll pick a book over a movie any day, but I prefer  to see  the movie first because the chances I'll like it are better then.  I saw the movie 
 The Horse Whisperer   and thought it was good.  Then I read t he book.  Then I thought the movie sucked.   
  
If I had read the book first and then gone to the movie, I would have been cranky-pants through the whole thing.   
  
Read a book or Listen to a book read on audiotape?
